the academics of attraction

heard from yh that day.. thot it made a lot of sense.. the social psychology explaining attraction..

1. proximity
physical closeness is key to attraction.. when u see a person often.. the tendency to get attracted is higher.. but when space is ur enemy.. attraction will vanish..
tell me abt it.. i'm experienced..

2. similarity
according to academics.. the idea that opposites attract seem less convincing.. if 2 pple are more similar in thinking etc. it's easier for them to relate to each other..

3. reciprocity
when u noe that another person likes u, it is easier for u to do the same.. perhaps it's coz of the fear of rejection? perhaps it juz feels good when u feel valued.. oh well.. are we all not victims of the underestimation of this?

attraction.. relationships.. it's really confusing these days..
